The ability to have a plane that fits your hand and style, that is made to your liking is here with the Veritas® Custom Bench Planes.

All totes are made using domestic torrefied maple, wood treated with a heating process that changes the structure of the wood at the cellular level, stabilizing it against the swelling and shrinkage caused by humidity changes.

The Standard Veritas® Tote is the one currently used on our line of bevel-up planes. It is a relatively vertical handle, designed to allow a comfortable grip that keeps your forearm closer to parallel with the plane's sole. This allows you to bring more forward force to bear, because it encourages you to push with the heel of your hand rather than the web of your thumb.
